Stephanie was born at 1:44 PM on April 30, 1988 at Women's Hospital in Houston. We'll never forget the time because the Dr. was ready to get the delivery over with and get back for the Rocket's playoff game. It made us mad! She was a beautiful baby and beautiful girl with a deeper beauty than her outward looks alone.

She attended Klein schools that were all near our home in Northampton; starting Kindergarten after we returned from living in Norway from the time she was 2 to 4. She was always a good girl and had so many friends growing up.

She attended Spring Baptist Church with us as a family from those early years as we were starved for church after living in Norway where there were no English-speaking churches. She later went on mission trips in high school and lead people to the Lord. She was always so outgoing, friendly and willing to give of herself to help people out. This would continue even into young adulthood when she went to nursing school and started helping Alzheimer's patients.

Stephanie attended Lonestar Community College in The Woodlands for two years and later moved to Boise, Idaho to attend Boise State University for two semesters and summer school before returning back to Spring.

She met the love of her life, Justin Kirby, on June 4, 2010 and they married on July 25, 2011 (the first time). It was a small church wedding, but it was followed by a more formal ceremony on January 7, 2012 between them two. The absolute joy of her life was becoming a mother. God blessed them with Landon Scott Kirby on September 18, 2012.

Stephanie always loved helping people, but she had a true passion for those unable to always help themselves. She worked for nearly 8 years with Alzheimer patients and this too brought extreme joy to her life. We will miss her more than words could ever describe. However, we know that she is in the Lord's arms and walking streets of gold while looking down over us until we can join her once again.
